Pickleball session management without the clipboard.

CinchCourt replaces paper sign-up sheets, whiteboard court rotations, and hand-picked games with one organized open-play workflow.

Registration

QR code player sign-up

Share one session code. Players register from their browser, and walk-ups can still be added at the desk.

Ratings

DUPR rating setup

Players who already know their DUPR rating can add it during setup. Newer players can choose a skill level instead.

Check-in

Live roster and waitlist

See who registered, who arrived, who is waiting, and who is ready for the next pickleball match.

Courts

Court rotation and assignment

Track courts in play, assign games to open courts, and keep the room moving without calling names from memory.

Live board

Player-facing session board

Players can see active courts, who is waiting, and which matches are next without crowding the organizer table.

Matches

Fair open-play matchmaking

Create balanced games from the available player pool using session settings, wait time, and player history.

Scores

Fast score entry

Record final scores, return players to the pool, and let the next game form from the same screen.

Results

Standings and session reports

Show live standings during play and keep a clean session report when the event is over.

B

A calmer room

Players can see who is playing, who is waiting, and what is next. The organizer stops answering the same question all night.

C

Ratings that compound

Each completed pickleball match improves player history, helping future sessions create better games.
